Are you ready to
give fern and fauna the green light for your “on trend 2017 wedding”?
Continuing with the trend from 2016, greenery is transforming our perceptions
of wedding decor. Swap flowers for foliage with cascading eucalyptus or olive
branch chandeliers! Are you ready to go green?
Greenery is
perhaps responsible for the demise of traditional wedding flowers such as
carnations or chrysanthemums, due to it being both on trend and amazingly cost
effective. And did we mention that it is green, as in kinder to the
environment?
Greenery has the
magical ability to give even the plainest wedding venue an instant wow factor!
Take your style to new heights by installing suspended installations
overflowing with lush green leaves.
Perhaps it is
the trend for a more rustic style wedding that is driving the penchant for
pretty garlands, delicate vines and leafy branches. Floral chandeliers have
been popular for some time, yet there is an organic charm in laurel adornments
and sprigs of rosemary. Greenery puts a fresh twist on traditional styles and
we love it.
Whilst many of
us would love a wedding venue set in extensive lawns with guaranteed year round
sunshine…this is not usually a reality. The use of greenery can really bring
the outside in, discreetly infusing the room with nature. Whether you opt for
green chandeliers or moss covered troughs set with lush green ferns, make sure
your chose foliage is a cut above the rest with our pick of the best.
Table Centre
Pieces
Your table centerpieces
really need to suit your specific wedding theme. If you opted for a rustic
venue with mismatched chairs set around shabby chic tables, why not consider a
table runner abundant with sage? More sophisticated affairs are perhaps better
suited to thyme, twine and a few tea lights for extra glimmer.
Insiders Tip:
Tall leafy centerpieces
are versatile, working well with most wedding themes.
Bouquet
Green wedding
bouquets are easily more jaw dropping than your average floral offering, simply
because they are so unexpected. It is a trendy alternative to flowers and more
cost effective for brides on a budget. Greenery comes in all shapes and shades
and the reasonable cost means you can afford to opt for an oversized bouquet.
Personal
Favourites:
Eucalyptus with ferns, beautiful to see and beautiful to smell.
Insiders Tip:
Crisp white dresses
instantly pop against a bouquet of emerald green foliage.
Chair Backs
Avoid clichéd chair backs, complete with white covers and obligatory
bow. Opt for greenery instead. Even the simplest of chairs can be transformed
with the right embellishment. For a cost effective eye catcher, choose a
lengthy garland of foliage hung across multiple chairs or adorn with tiny bags
of lavender…with the additional benefit of a beautifully fragranced venue.
Green Headdresses
Greenery headdresses
are perfect for that boho themed wedding. They lend a barefoot chic to any
ceremony. Minimal, girlish and intriguing!
Get carried
away…
There are no limits
to decorating with greenery so why not keep going? Consider….seedling wedding
favours, moss table cloths, trellis, candle holders, table ends, table numbers…
